Last Saturday, three Laramie Audubon Society members traveled to Curt Gowdy State Park, where we were joined by two Nebraskans visiting southeastern Wyoming for the weekend. The Visitors' Center parking lot was teeming with Cub Scouts and other visitors taking advantage of National Public Lands Day (free park admission), but after we had ventured a few yards onto Kate's Trail the crowds of people gave way to mixed grasslands and pines teeming with birds -- Mountain Bluebirds, Mountain Chickadees, American Goldfinches, Lesser Goldfinches, Pine Siskins, Clark's Nutcrackers, Ravens, Chipping Sparrows, Yellow-rumped Warblers, and more, with Red Crossbills, Red-breasted Nuthatches, and Pygmy Nuthatches calling from deeper in the trees. Such fun to be joined by visitors and to see everyone out enjoying the state park!
